SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 352,697, dated November16, 1886.

Application filed June 14, 1886. Serial N0. 205,080. (ifIo model.)

To aZZ whom, it may concern Be it known that I, MARY LANE, of HotSprings, in the county of Garland and State of corresponding parts inboth the'figures.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a hose-cart having my invention appliedthereto, and Fig. 2 is a plan View of the same. I

The hose-cart may be of any approved construction, provided with asupport or crosspiece, A, above the drum or reel on which the hose iswound. Upon the cross-piece A is secured the plate B, provided with theiron G, carrying the clampscrew D. A Pivoted upon the plate B is thecircular turn-table E. Rising from this are the two parallel uprights FF, in the upper ends of which is journaled the shaft G, to whichis'secured the lower half, h, of the hose-holder H. The hose-holder isin the form of a olasp'composed of the said lower half, which isconcaved or semi-cylindrical in form, and the upper semi-cylindricalhalf, h,

i which is hinged to the lower half and provided with fastenings z 2',so the holder may beopened and closed over a hose, and'clasped forsecurely holding the hose. The table E is 40 adapted for turning thehose in any direction, and when turned to the proper position it may beheld in such position by turning down thescrew D. The shaft G, on whichthe holder H is secured, is adapted to be turned in its 5 bearings forgiving the hose any pitch desired, and the shaft may be locked forretaining the desired pitch of the holder by a setscrew, a, fitted inthe bearing of one of the up-v rights F to act upon the shaft. In thisman- 0 ner the universal action of the turn-table and holder H enablesthe hose to be easily set and held for directing the stream of water tothe right-or left, up or down, as circumstances require; and the hose isheld with perfectse- 5 5 eurit-y, so that one man can easily manage it.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new,and'desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination, 'with a support, of a turn-table mounted thereon, aclamp forlocking the turn-table in position, uprights projecting fromthe turn-table, a shaft j ournaled in the upper ends of the uprights, ahose;

holder secured to the said shaft, and a setscrew for locking the shaftin position, substantially as herein shown and described.

2. The. plate B of the cross-piece A; provided with the iron 0 and screwD, in combination with the tu rn-table E, uprights F, shaft G, dividedholder H, and set-screw a,arranged to lock the shaft G, substantially asdescribed.
